Port of Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg is a city-state; it values its status as a "free city", being as far as possible independent
of other states that existed and exist in Germany. Nevertheless, during the centuries, Hamburg
has always been an international city, not only because of its position in international trade, but
also in political dimensons.

AIRPORT INFORMATION

The airports are about 30 45 min away from the port

Airport Hamburg (HAM)
Hamburg has the fifth-largest international airport in Germany, so arrival by plane is an obvious choice for those
visiting from far away.
Hamburg airport is closed at nighttime. So be careful not to book late flights. Severely delayed flights aren't allowed
to land in Hamburg, they have to land in Hannover, Frankfurt or other airports instead. International flights cannot
come into that problem, as they have plenty of time before the airport could be closed. The airport has been
2
thoroughly modernized with a new terminal, streamlined infrastructure and facilities that are by and large adequate,
so you won't get lost. Depending on the gate your flight arrives at or leaves from, walking longer distances can be a
problem.
Despite the fact that the airport is basically in the city, it isn't quite trivial to reach it. If you are in a hurry or feel like
you do not want to bother, take a taxi - but be aware that this can be costly. Buses connect the airport to the central
station, to Ohlsdorf and to Rahlstedt - you can change to regional trains and subways at all three, or
national/international trains at the central station. Fare is roughly 2-3 Euros per person, depending on where you
wish to go. Trips can take a while, since you likely will have to change to a connecting transport.
(*note * if you
have luggage a Taxi is your best bet! Most city buses will not allow luggage)

Getting around while you are staying in Hamburg

By train
Hamburg has five major stations: Hauptbahnhof (central station), Altona, Dammtor, Harburg,
Bergedorf. Various types of train service are available.

online trip planner
to find connections to/from Hamburg and buy
tickets.

By bus
Buses serving other cities arrive at or depart from Hamburg's central bus station ("ZOB") which
is located near the central railway station (Hauptbahnhof) (2 minute walk). Destinations include
Berlin
(several times a day).
Buses to
Lübeck
depart from Wandsbek.

Public Transportation
Hamburg has a well developed public transportation system. Buses go around the clock. Intracity
train service runs from approximately 5 AM until 1 AM in the central city, but there is often not
service past 11PM in outlying districts. On weekends it runs all night. See
HVV - Hamburger
Verkehrsverbund
for lines and prices.
Vending machines in the rail stations sell single ride, three ride, and day tickets. On the buses the
driver will sell you what you need. Group tickets are also available. To buy week or longer
tickets, go to Hauptbanhof, get passport photos in the automated photo booth, and buy your pass
in the information office. Group tickets are also available.
Hamburg's public transit operates on the honors system. Red vested officials make spot checks,
but aside from this you simply get on and off as you wish with no turnstiles or gates. The
exception is late night on the buses, when the driver must check passengers' tickets.
Try to avoid rush-hours before 9 AM and 4-7 PM. You are not allowed to take bikes into
subways before 9am and between 4pm and 6pm.
Six ferry services operate in the harbour and along the River Elbe.
Railways
Hamburg has six S-Bahn lines and three U-Bahn (subway) lines. Note that train doors don't open
automatically: you have to press the red button on the door. The trains run above ground in much
of the city, and in the winter you will be grateful for this feature.
All train platforms have signs showing the next train, where it is headed, and how many minutes
until it arrives. Trains are described by a number and the final station. Note that the final station
may vary: half of the S33 trains heading west go all the way to Wedel, but the other half only go
as far as Blankenese.
